Steve Williams organiser of the Willowman Festival commented, "This summer we will be organising our 5th Willowman festival, we attract a very mixed audience of families, groups of mates, locals and diehard festival goers. I think part of the attraction is the mixed bag of performers we have across our 4 stages, we are looking forward to the long sunny days of June and l am delighted on how the line-up is coming together."

The event held over the Summer Solstice weekend also offers many onsite activities for children, plus a whole host of robots, faeries, jugglers and stilt walkers adding to the laid back atmosphere.
